I brought down my summer cloths to swap out my winter cloths here in Michigan.

I found some Capri's that I wore last summer that were to big. Now yes they tie, so I could have

looked like I was wearing a potato sack this summer , but,,,,, I don't think so.

So I dug a little deeper in my box, and found summer cloths from when I lost weight the first time.

I'm glad I kept all of them. I went from a size 32 to a 22/24. Now some people are starting at where I ended up.

But what a difference in looks, and nice colors instead of Black, Grey, and Navy.

I found Yellows, Mint, Khaki, and well you get the idea. They look nice.

Just thought I would share the good news instead of vent.

Congratulations on the bright colored clothes! I'm looking forward to being excited daily about what I get to wear instead of dreading to get dressed.

My surgeon, Dr. Machado with Sacramento Bariatric Associates, hosts a monthly support group. One of the things they have is a clothing exchange. The clothes that are too big for you now might fit someone else during their journey. I wonder if there is something like that online? That sure would be great! They also have a Protein exchange. Since everybody has different tastes, what doesn't work for you might work for someone else.

Anyway, enjoy Spring in all of your pretty Spring colors! You have earned it!:welldone:

Thank You very much gMommy. I'm looking forward to a change. So yes I imagine it to be nice, but I still don't believe it.

It's hard for me to ever see the real weight loss, it looks like a dream to me. I know it's real, I can tell by the sizes, but I just don't feel it.

Maybe when I wear it this summer it will click.:rolleyes: But for now in Michigan we are under white out conditions, with 4 - 8" of snow.....

So I guess I'm not thinking much about it.

I don't know of a site were cloths can be swapped for other sizes. But it is a very good idea.

Shirley.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
